Pirates optioned C Jacob Stallings to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Stallings was called up last week to provide some extra depth behind the plate. He's 2-for-7 with a double and two runs scored at the major league level this season. Tue, Jun 27, 2017 10:05:00 AM

Pirates recalled C Jacob Stallings from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Stallings will give the Bucs some extra depth at catcher while Francisco Cervelli recovers from lingering post-concussion symptoms. Stallings, 27, is 2-for-7 this season at the major league level. Thu, Jun 22, 2017 11:52:00 AM

Pirates' manager Clint Hurdle announced Thursday that X-rays on the finger of Ivan Nova came back negative.

Nova was pulled from Thursday's game after he was hit by a pitch while squaring to bunt, but it appears that he was able to avoid any structural damage. Either way, he isn't going to pitch again this season but should be fully healthy heading into 2018.

Pirates LHP Nik Turley was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for performance-enhancing substance Ipamorelin.

Turley was just claimed off waivers from the Twins in November, and now his Pirates debut will have to wait. He made his major league debut in 2017, posting an ugly 11.21 ERA in 10 appearances. His suspension will begin at the start of the season.

Phillies selected Twins RHP Nick Burdi with the third pick in the Rule 5 draft and traded him to the Pirates for international slot money.

Burdi was considered the top relief prospect in the 2014 draft and was expected to move quickly, but he didn't develop as hoped initially and, after a fast start last year, he required Tommy John surgery in May. It makes plenty of sense to stash him away here -- he can spend at least the first half of the year on the DL -- but he's not a great bet to turn into a bullpen asset anytime soon.
